The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the original square, hence:

Area = x * x = x²

When the area is doubled:

2x² = (x + 6)(x + 4)

x² + 10x + 24 = 2x²

x² - 10x - 24 = 0

x = 12 inches

The length of a side of the original square is about 12 inches.

What is the answer to this question
densk [106]

Answer:

- 1, 1, - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the value of f(1), we require the corresponding value of y from the graph when x = 1

From the graph

when x = 1 the value of y on the graph is - 1 ⇒ f(1) = - 1

Similarly

f(3) means what is the value of y corresponding to x = 3

From the graph when x = 3 then y = 1 ⇒ f(3) = 1

and f(- 1) = - 3

One city's highest temperature during this passed summer was 34 degrees Celsius, a second city's highest temperature over
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

\°F = 93.2

City 2 has a higher temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\°F = (\°C * 9/5) + 32

City\ 2 = 97\°F

Required

Convert 34°C to °F

Substitute 34 for C in the above formula:

\°F = (34 * 9/5) + 32

\°F = 61.2 + 32

\°F = 93.2

<em>Comparing 93.2 to City 2's temperature of 97; we can conclude that city 2 has a higher temperature</em>
